Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick Swatches...Be Still My Beating Heart

Yesterday whilst looking through Myer i remembered that Chanel had a new lipstick collection for release. I then went to the Chanel counter and found them. I cannot begin to explain what i felt when i was swatching these lipsticks. It was like after 30 years of searching for the perfect lip product...I found it! I actually think i'd like every shade in this collection.

What i love

It's like a lip balm, lipgloss and lipstick all in one!

It is incredibly moisturising

The lipstick feels very comfortable to wear-it's not sticky

Very shiny- the photos in this post really do not give an accurate reflection of the shine

The lipstick is buildable, can either be applied lightly for sheer coverage or layered for a deeper color

The packaging is typical Chanel- luxurious and elegant

What i don't love

It is not long wearing- due to it's intense hydrating properties. But this is ok....Just reapply, you will want to!

It does have a faint rose scent which many lipsticks do have

The swatches on the lips look a little "blurry"- the camera was in focus, it may just be that these lipsticks don't photograph well.

Please go and have a look at these lipsticks at a counter near you. You will not appreciate how beautiful they are just from blog posts and swatches.

Australian residents can purchase these lipsticks from Myer or David Jones for $50AU. I can't find that these are available on the Nordstrom site (US) or Debenhams site (UK) as yet.

thanks for your comments girls.i think each and every shade is SO wearable, no matter what skin tone you have.I couldn't believe how nice they felt when swatching. I am going to wear Boy to work tomorrow. Go and get one!! All of you!!
